Vehicle Description
The Coronet is an automobile that was marketed by Dodge as a
full-size car in the 1950s, initially the division's highest trim
line but, starting in 1955, the lowest trim line. From the 1965 to
1975 model years the name was on intermediate-sized models. A
coronet is a small crown consisting of ornaments fixed on a metal
ring. The Coronet reappeared for the 1965 model year as the
intermediate sized B-body using a 117-inch wheelbase. For 1965,
Dodge sold slightly over 209,000 units, making the Coronet the most
popular model sold by Dodge that year. Trim levels initially were
base Coronet including a Deluxe version, Coronet 440 and Coronet
500. The base Coronet and Deluxe were available as two-door sedans,
four-door sedans, and station wagons. For 1965 only, Dodge also
sold only 101 units of a modified wheelbase version of the base
Coronet two-door sedan and 440 hardtop used for NHRA drag racing.
The model known as A990 came with a racing version of the 426 Hemi
engine. The car A990 was stripped of all features and included base
bucket seats from Dodge's truck-van line of vehicles. The altered
wheelbase eventually became commonly known as Funny Cars because of
their stretched front clips. Front seat belts and padded dash were
standard
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1966 Dodge Coronet 440
Convertible for consideration. The restoration of this vehicle was
completed about 10 years back, tons of receipts of service and
parts are available. The power plant in this Coronet is a 318 cubic
inch V8 and is paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. The
motor runs great, starts up with no hesitation and runs down the
street and on the highway wonderfully. The top has been replaced,
the engine was rebuilt and documentation on the rebuild is
available, front seats have recently been re-wrapped and they look
phenomenal. This is a great running car that stands out in the Red
exterior paint along with the Black vinyl top and interior. Please
call or email us today for more information.
